The U.S. House voted Monday to refer articles of impeachment against Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas to committee.
The resolution was introduced by Republican Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on Thursday.
The House did not end up voting on the legislation as eight Republicans voted with Democrats to refer the resolution to committee. The vote was 209-201.
In the past 23 months since the beginning of Fiscal Year 2022 there have been at least 269 known or suspected terrorists that have been apprehended between ports of entry at the border and likely many more among the “got-aways.”
“Our border is wide open and Americans are dying everyday. It’s time for Congress to hold the Biden administration accountable. It’s time to IMPEACH Mayorkas. Tonight, the House will vote on the Democrat motion to table (kill) my articles of impeachment against Mayorkas. Every Republican should stand strong and vote AGAINST the motion,” Greene said on Twitter before the vote.
“A vote to table is a vote with Democrats to protect Mayorkas and against impeachment,” she added.
Here are the eight Republicans who voted with Democrats:
California Rep. Darrell Issa
North Carolina Rep. Virginia Foxx
Colorado Rep. Ken Buck
Oregon Rep. Cliff Bentz
Ohio Rep. Mike Turner
North Carolina Rep. Patrick McHenry
California Rep. Tom McClintock
California Rep. John Duarte

ENOUGH TALK, WE NEED TO MOVE ASAP!
I see idiot’s smile on the picture.
That creature must be impeached.
I’m shocked that Issa is on this list. What a disappointment.
All of the evidence right in front of their faces and they still “think” the current administration is a good thing and helping OUR COUNTRY in a time of need. WHY does it seem to be the same characters that are against the house? Is someone paid off? Is someone threatened? Is someone trying to hide their corruption? Is someone simply trying to protect their free ride? WAKE THE HELL UP AMERICA. We can take OUR COUNTRY BACK.
